Following the completion of his studies at Lincoln UTC in 2018, Adam Kemp secured a position as a Design and Production Engineer with industry partner, Househam Sprayers. Adam said: “As a Design and Production Engineer I complete a wide variety of design specifications and work as part of a team to improve the machines by adding features and correcting drawings.
“Studying a STEM curriculum relevant to my career aspirations ensured that I gained specific knowledge and skills, allowing me to work efficiently at Househam almost straight away. “I also have excellent practical ability which is reflected in my designs when I consider physically building the machines; and completing regular work experience whilst at Lincoln UTC played a key part in this.”
Adam is now our primary contact at Househam Sprayers and he regularly contributes to the project-based learning curriculum and facilitates visits for students.
Most recently, Adam provided a real life industry scenario
for students to get to grips with as part of their project to master Microsoft
Excel. Using Adam’s part ordering planner spreadsheet, students must use the
explanation sheet to input the correct formula and calculate the order date for
each component based on the type of machine and build start date.
